Authors' results and conclusions:
The high quality evidence from the meta-analysis suggests that Fibro Test could be used as an alternative to liver biopsy, however this evidence appears to be contradicted from experience in the Australian health setting.
Authors' recommendations:
It is recommended that this technology be archived. An investigation into the Hepascore method from Western Australia may be warranted. It is likely that this technology will be superseded by a gene expression blood test.
